Le Fournas, Vallauris 1953.

In the artist’s studio at Le Fournas, Vallauris, in 1953, a painted owl sculpture stands on a rough wooden surface. The bird features a stylized, human-like face, and its small plinth is inscribed with the word "Carnaval." Behind the sculpture, and slightly out of focus, are two Cubist paintings of female busts. The figure on the left is depicted with a distorted face seen from multiple perspectives, while the face on the right is divided into light and dark planes.
